As some may know my son Sebastian was diagnosed as I was about to run in the 2022 NYC marathon, my thoughts and my self in general had a lot to digest and understand and I was not fully in my race mindset and knew that I had to run and not just for me anymore but for him and his and our journey together. I am raising money and want support towards fundraising efforts to help those who are going to through this journey called Autism. He is on the mild spectrum and is developing in his own way and doing well. He is strong and resilient and I want to know that I can hep him with any help and support I can by fundraising on his behalf and being a great supporting parent.

Please help me support by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause!
